“How can we measure electric vehicle charging penetration per-capita of the population?”

The more electric vehicles come on the road, the more places to charge will be necessary. One way to measure the success of this will be to see the number of spots per person. This can be done by taking the number of public charging points and dividing it by the millions of people in the area as the Public Charge Points per Million Population.

“What is one of the most important metrics to measure electric vehicle adoption?”

One of the primary energy goals of governments around the world is to increase the penetration of electric vehicle adoption in their fleet mix. However, in order to accomplish this, metrics will need to be developed to measure the level of success that their policies are having. One of these is measuring the number of Electric Vehicles per Million Population, or dividing the number of electric vehicles per million people in a designated area. This is useful to measure how much electric vehicles are selling but may be distorted for countries with low vehicle ownership rates.

“What are the best ways to implement electric vehicle charging stations in an urban area?”

Electric vehicles are one of the hottest topics in the automotive and energy world. Given their current and projected rate of adoption, they’re expected to overtake petroleum vehicles by 2038. However, in order to ensure that they can still be readily adopted, infrastructure needs to be in place to support them. One of these factors will be making sure that vehicle users in urban areas will always have quick and easy access to a charging station. By developing Urban Electric Vehicle Charger Placement Metrics, municipal planners rely on quantitative data on how best to serve communities in need.

Why Electric Vehicles Are Better for the Environment Despite Their Batteries

“Why are critics wrong about electric vehicles being worse for the environment than their petroleum counterparts?”

Electric vehicles are often marketed as being cleaner than their petroleum alternatives. However, many critics point out that the carbon intensity of their battery manufacturing process makes them much more harmful for the environment. Although this is true, by taking into account that electric vehicles pollute much less over their lifetime, this carbon debt is paid off. In fact, studies have shown in some areas of the world electric vehicles can cross this mark in only two years! And with future improvements in the manufacturing process and grid decarbonization, this payback can be achieved on an even faster timescale. This is Why Electric Vehicles Are Better for the Environment Despite Their Batteries.

Electricity blackouts are infamous for their threats to economies. But their harm extends far beyond the monetary. Since appliances such as HVAC systems and plug-in medical devices cannot function properly, individuals will be exposed to much more harmful conditions without any aid. For example, the loss of refrigeration will cause food to spoil, a lack of AC can cause people to be exposed to extreme temperatures, and a lack of medical support can be fatal to the unprepared. All of these show how How Electricity Blackouts Can Be Detrimental to Health.

Electrons moves along transmission lines analogous to cars through a freeway. And like cars, if there is too much trying to get through at the same time, it leads to complete obstruction. These transmission bottlenecks are the bane of every utility, and will become a hindrance for renewable energy as peak electricity production hours often leads to a sudden surge of new electrons.

Energy is the backbone of modern infrastructure. Whether it be for making our coffee or powering our stock-markets. And the majority of this runs on the earliest version of this technology, in which water or another fluid is heated and evaporated to run a turbine to make Thermoelectric Power.
